No, sorry. I think it would be very confusing to the average user for 
the default to be different in different circumstances.

portmaster is really designed with the idea of keeping all of your ports 
up to date, not cherry-picking updates. If you have specific ports that 
you want to keep at a certain version there are at least 2 other ways 
that you can do that besides -i. I suggest that a thorough reading of 
the man page may be in order. :)
